Too long for me….I think I’m gonna send this back.

@Matty123 it’s xxxxl if you want it???

a 3 hour room temp soak led to this-

And first day out in the “wild” off my office-

I found the sizing chart they use pretty accurate. the measurements listed had me in an XXL and it fit pretty well.

Its a cool jacket and well made and all that, but in the end I didnt keep it.

Natural CXL - 2030 last

In hindsight I prefer the service boot without the Toe-Cap.. live & learn

Hey @Matty123, yes I would consider the Role Club half sole to be pretty slip resistant, at least for “normal” use. It’s a hard rubber but after a few wears they scuff up and footing seems pretty secure.

This is how they look today, with a pretty solid amount of wear..

@Autorotate said in Iron Heart X Simmons Bilt Horsehide Western Shirt - The Pale Rider - Natural:

Thanks for the initial responses.

The issue I see with “spot -wetting” is the uneven shades that could result.

you're right about the water stains, you could do a light rub down of the entire shirt with a wet towel to set the water stain for the full shirt then fully soak the areas the need to be further broken in..

There is a chance you can ruin the jacket, but there is also the chance you get the exact fit you want from a soak.. My thoughts would be to only wet/soak the areas you want to change.. ie the shoulders or the collar.. then wear it dry and condition after dry if necessary.. i would not soak the entire shirt.. at least to start, and i would not put it in the washing machine. id wear it in the shower.

^ I owned a wills a while ago and I want to say I paid $450-$475 for it.

This was going around a bit recently, supposed to be a former SJ employee, I certainly cant verify it..

Dude… No Bleach… wear often & wash when dirty. That’s it

I definitely agree with the above info, but I’ll add the following.

-If you live in the US a new moderately customized Aero is is about $750.. due to the current dollar to pound exchange rates. It’s a great time to buy new.

-Aero have a ready to wear section with jackets and leather choices in many styles… definitely check that out.
